Rapid are on a roll
SK Rapid Wien will justify their slight favourite status when they meet SV Ried at Innviertel Arena on Sunday, and our SV Ried vs SK Rapid Wien prediction points to there being few goals in the game.
This is a clash of possession against transition - with the hosts looking to stay compact and strike quickly when they win the ball, while Rapid want to dominate the play and overload the Ried defenders.
Rapid have been on a great run of form and are unbeaten in their last 5 with 5 wins. Their goals have come in clusters in that sequence, with the last 3 matches seeing a 3-1 away win over FC Santa Coloma, a 3-0 away cup win at SV Wienerberger and a 6-2 home thrashing of the same opposition.
Jussef Nasrawe leads the scoring for Ried with 1 goal in 1 Bundesliga game, but Ante Bajic has already made his mark with 1 Bundesliga assist and has that little bit of spark in the final third. Evan Eghosa Aisowieren has 2 of the 6 goals that Ried have scored in the last 5 games, so he could be the ace in the deck.
Hosts have enough about them to make this tricky
Rapid have the form, the firepower and the odds, but Ried are a solid side and it could be a close game with a narrow win for the visitors on the cards. Mario Despotovic sets his team up to be fluid and compact, while Johannes Hoff Thorup's side are built to control the ball in a 4-3-3 system. Rapid are 2-0-1 on the road in all competitions and have conceded only 3 goals.
Ried are coming off a 1-1 draw with SC Austria Lustenau, a 1-5 cup win at FC Dornbirn and a 1-1 draw with Istanbul Basaksehir FK at home, so their home form is patchy - 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, with an average of 1.40 goals scored and 1.60 conceded. Rapid beat Ried 3-0 in their most recent meeting two months ago in the Bundesliga Conference League Playoffs, with 3 wins in the last 5 meetings.
The SV Ried vs SK Rapid Wien preview suggests Under 2.5 goals at 1.8 is a strong option given that Rapid are flying up front, but Both Teams To Score - No at 1.95 is also of interest. Our SV Ried vs SK Rapid Wien betting tips also lean towards a tight away win.
The SV Ried vs SK Rapid Wien prediction is for Rapid to edge it, though Ried should make them work hard for the points.
